This Graduate Diploma program is a specialist program comprising environmental courses offered by the Faculty. Specialisation is achieved by undertaking study in one or two environmental streams of the program, although some flexibility in courses may be permitted at the discretion of the Program Co-ordinator. The program focuses on the nature of environmental problems and the methodology of their evaluation and management. Emphasis is placed on the development of relevant skills in environmental analysis and planning. The programs are primarily intended for students with a background in science or engineering. However, students with other degrees who have undertaken undergraduate level environmental courses and/or have professional experience in an environmental area may apply for entry.

Entry Requirements

A recognised three-year Bachelor degree or equivalent in a field relevant to environmental studies, or a four-year Bachelor degree in any discipline.
